Does it actually produces light? or is it just heat? Thanks!

It produces heat. The illumination is quite minimal. You can see it if you look directly into the mineral plate. Very effective for pain. I've had mine 10+ years. Only suggestion I would have is to purchase a spare mineral plate. They last a long time. My problem was I didn't need a new mineral plate for 10 years and the models changed so I had to put a lot of effort into finding a new plate.

It only provides heat. The waz it works is that there is a heating element - wires that get red hot when the lamp is turned on - and on top of the heating element there is a black plate of something that is covering the plate. When the heating elements gets hot it heats the plate immediately above it and the plate then gets hot and radiates heat towards the part of my body it faces. No visible light is emitted by the final black plate, and as it blocks the heating plate, no light is visible.

It's a cool light. We have these lights in our kitchen ceiling. No heat, just a clean bright light. Perfect for cooking.

The only light that I am aware of is the indicator light for when the heating element is on and actively heating. The unit has a thermostat so when it needs to heat up, the indicator light (orange/red color and not very bright) will light up.

There's not really a flame. It's a light that makes it LOOK like there are glowing logs, and the light "dances" like flames behind the "logs" if you put a cardboard backing behind it. I don't know exactly how it works, only that it does. It also puts out some heat--enough to warm an area 20 by 30, I would say. It's adjustable within a pretty narrow range.

Infrared lamps are not intended to produce light. Their purpose is produce heat only. While on the lamp does produce a glow like the element on an electric stove. This unit has limited power and will keep only a small quantity of food warm (not hot).

I don't notice any heat output from mine; however I put LED bulbs in the fixtures, and these don't produce much heat anyway. LEDs are much more expensive, but last about three times as long as halogen bulbs. It you use halogen bulbs, I think a lot would depend on your ceiling height.

This isn't a thermal imaging device, so the temperature of what you are viewing does not matter. This device works with little to no light and does that extremely well, but if you are looking for a thermal device, this isn't what you are looking for.

I like mine. It's not too bright nor too dull. For the price I'd suggest trying it as you'll never have too much light..

It does not produce light. There is only a small power LED light on the front of the unit under the controls.

I feel like it gives off sufficient light. I have it in a fairly small space. I really like this light!

We had it one for about an hour during a power outage and it generated very little heat. It is a nice little light for the money.

It gives a very white light. I don't know what the color temperature would be, but it is not a real warm or "reddish" color.

It provides heat but is also very bright. The room will be orange! It doesn't provide a ton of heat for us, however we use our in an open cabana with no walls Sonia lot of heat escapes.

Hi. This lamp is for healing. It will not heat a room. Minor energy consumption. It is a penetrating heat

Yes they do produce heat. You decide based upon how much light you want/need.

It will light and heat up but the fan that circulates the heat won't work with the power out. So it depends what your trying to heat. For a small area it would be good.

Mine gets warm, but not enough to turn off the light. It sounds like a defect in materials or workmanship. I'd return it for a replacement. Good Luck.
